Public bug reported: I was testing Ubuntu Gnome 15.04 in VirtualBox. I was able to login into the machine a few times and run updates and install a few programs. I also installed the VirtualBox guest additions. Since today this happens:
I log into the machine. The login is accepted and the machine does something for a few seconds. Then the machine jumps back to login, but with a random flickering. The flickering also resets the password field, which prevents it from being typed. So I can't login into the machine anymore. I am using a HP Probook 6570 b which I upgraded to 16 GB of RAM. ** Affects: gdm (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1414707 Title: Login fails, returns to login and flickering prevents password typing To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/1414707/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
